How to fix your Nokia N97 and N97 mini

Hi al
As my previous post was deleted by the moderators here is a quick overview of how to resolve many issues with your Nokia N97 or N97 mini.
You like myself maybe having issues with freezes, applications not working properly, rebooting, home screen disappearing etc.
This I have found is due to Nokias firmware being modified by companies like 3 mobile/optus/telstra vodaphone etc. they modify the software to suit their requirmeents , but in the process cause issues with the software so it stops the phone from working properly.
To remedy this. Take the phone to your telco/mobile phone network operator and ask for them to authorise Nokia to update the firmware on your phone. once this permission is given you take it to Nokia and they will update the software with the correct version of the firmware for that phone.
Once this is done you should see no more issues with the phone and it should work well. Removing the original carriers "version" of the software seems to fix it, but you must have written permission from your carrier to Nokia to do this.
Cheers

The only way to go back to the old software has been described for you. It is not officially sanctioned by Apple. They do not provide a way to go back to former software. There is not currently a fix in iTunes, as the only thing iTunes does is provide a conduit for you to update firmware.
As provided before, Apple is addressing the issues with 3G and 3GS phones running slow with iOS4. According to developers with access to the iOS4.1 beta, it has been addressed there. You will have to either try the Genius bar as suggested, and I understand the distance issue, or you will have to wait for iOS4.1 to be released. If a restore as a new phone and a DFU restore do not work, then I'm not aware of any other alternative except what was provided above.
Edit: You might try and delete the iOS that you have on the computer and let iTunes download a brand new one. That might help.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • I reset my phone and it now receives calls that were meant for my husband. I know how to fix this with messaging and facetime, but can't seem to find how to make it stop with the calls. Please help.

    It may be due to Continuity

    To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

  • I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

    I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

    If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
    But in such a case I would expect more problems.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
    Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
    When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
    Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
    Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
    Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
    The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

  • I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

    I went in you tube and watched videos on how to fix my headphone jack and its not the headphones cause when I look inside I see this little white costing in there I think that's the problem how can I fix it

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Make sure that y do not leave any foreign material or leave anything in the jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Add another e-mail account to your messages, so people could reach you on that e-mail from messages. As soon as you are online (if you have wifi only iPad) you are able to send and receive messages. i.e. your son can send you a messages from his iPhone addressing it to your (that additional) e-mail address.

  • HOW TO FIX YOUR BLACKBERRY: DEVICE SOFTWARE REINSTALLMENT.

     All your phone truly needs is its software updating. I believe that sometimes certain software versions just stop working or become incompatible in some way or another because they are too 'old',  and this incompatibility particularly affects Blackberry Messenger or receiving incoming emails. I worked out how to fix my own Blackberry Curve 8520, without having to ask anyone for help, particularly my carrier service (Orange - as I believe that they are as clueless as we are!). In short terms, you need to replace your device's software completely, and this may take a while, but it is definitely worth it!
    This is how I fixed mine :
    1) Have your USB lead ready to connect your phone to your laptop, or Mac (but do not connect your phone via the USB to the laptop until after step 3.)
    2) In order to manually reinstall the latest software - even if you have the latest software, this shall work - you have to download the 'Desktop For Blackberry' program onto your laptop, or Mac. Click the following link in order to download and install this program - 
    http://www.us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/ -
    (for laptops only, to download this program for Macs, go to the blackberry website and find the program, it gives you the link for Mac download separately).
    3) Ensure that you have fully installed the 'Desktop For Blackberry' program on your laptop, or Mac, and then proceed to set up your phone with this program by connecting your phone to your laptop, or Mac, via the USB cable. It should then prompt you to enter your devices security password. From here, you should be able to access your phone via your laptop.
    4) Once 'Desktop For Blackberry' is fully set up and synced with your Blackberry device, the next major step is to install the latest software update for your device (even if you have the latest software, reinstalling it should work). Follow the following link in order to download the latest software version via 'Desktop For Blackberry' -
     http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/devices/
    - (If you are viewing this message a few weeks or months later, when you follow this link, ensure that this is the LATEST software available. If it isn't, the latest software shall be on the left of the screen when the link is clicked on.) 
    This should, again, prompt you to enter your device security password on 'Desktop For Blackberry', and then follow the next few steps to fully install the latest software onto your Blackberry Device.
    NB; DO NOT DISCONNECT OR LET YOUR LAPTOP, OR MAC, LOSE POWER DURING THIS PROCESS, OTHERWISE THIS MAY LRENDER YOUR DEVICE COMPLETELY DISABLED.
    NB2; THIS PROCESS IS NOT A QUICK FIXX, IT MAY TAKE UP TO AN HOUR, OR MORE, FOR THE PROCESS TO COMPLETE ITSELF.
      LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS, KUDOS PLEASE AND LEAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUERIES !!

  • How To Fix Your Apple Devices Not Linking Up Together When You Update to iOS8

    A lot of people including myself had this problem and it took me forever to figure out what was going on and how to fix.  To save you a trip to the Apple store watch this how-to video i posted on youtube: http://youtu.be/VCX0y_gEJdg

    This works flawless for me. I have upgraded many with a PC over the years.
    Manual device OS upgrade instructions:
    1. First locate your carrier and the OS file you wish to use.
    http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    2. Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion and unplug BlackBerry. Get DM here http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/desktop/
    3. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
    4. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
    5. This step is not needed unless there is an issue on next steps. Use BBSAK from BBSAK.org and wipe the device (after doing a complete backup) then after you get the error 507 (no OS installed) then proceed to step 6
    6. remove internet connection to PC and reboot PC.
    7. Plug in BlackBerry and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file was in.
    8. if you did Step 5, restore from back up. Follow this KB if needed http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    Enjoy the new OS.
